So some moron pulled out in front of me yesterday and i had to slam my brakes when i did the pedal felt good but then in an instant the pedal went all the way to the floor, i almost lost control of the jeep and hit some cars, scary moment, i pulled off to the side of the road and got out and inspected the jeep and found that my right front brake line burst spraying fluid all over! Called the tow truck and its now parked at the dealer waiting to be fixed.

 

Well I'm glad that no one got hurt. I hope that this is not going to be a problem with all the JK's

 

With the 3" lift did you have to extend your brake lines? Just wondering if it has anything to do with the lift.

Is it possible that if the line was kinked somewhat and created a weak spot, something like this would happen?

 

I have plenty of slack in the brake line so theres no problem there.

 

Please let us know what the dealer says.

 

This will not end well

 

Are you using the stainless steel braided lines in the Teraflex kit?

 

Do they make break line brackets for the front? I have the Full Traction econo kit and it only came with rear brackets. The front seems like it would be tight if flexed out.

 

Where did it split? Was it where the soft part of the hose meets at one of the crimps?

The 3" Teraflex kit comes with longer stainless steel braided lines. Since that is an aftermarket part, I was wondering why it was being taken to the dealer. Maybe whoever put on the lift left them off??
